You're right, I *was* thinking of The Old Curiosity Shop. I'll most certainly look into Little Dorrit on the strength of your recommendation.

I did quite enjoy the Bradley Headstone arc. Are any attempts at finishing Edwin Drood worth reading, to the extent that they exist?


They exist, and are on the whole only worth reading as curiosities. Think fanfic. But I think you can enjoy the book without knowing how it ends. The openness is charming. It means you can read it as a psychological novel or a whodunnit depending on what you prefer.

I'd also recommend BLEAK HOUSE. Jacob - 09/02/2012 06:19:12 PM 1287 Views
I think I can safely say I'll read at least one "new" Dickens novel this year. Hopefully more. Legolas - 07/02/2012 07:47:30 PM 970 Views
I'll definitely try DomA - 07/02/2012 08:59:04 PM 1110 Views
I'm engaged in Jarndyce v. Jarndyce, for all intents and purposes, and cannot spare time. Tom - 07/02/2012 09:39:59 PM 1136 Views
I want to read Bleak House one day. Mainly so I can feel superior about Scots law. *NM* Tim - 08/02/2012 08:28:43 PM 470 Views
Yeah, sheep aren't considered "persons" for purposes of English law, are they? *NM* Tom - 09/02/2012 01:26:46 AM 467 Views
Don't forget that the southerly jurisdiction is actually "England and Wales". Tim - 09/02/2012 08:21:31 AM 1012 Views
But you have more of them than Wales does, even if Wales has a higher human to sheep density. *NM* Tom - 09/02/2012 04:44:37 PM 464 Views
Are you telling me you've actually researched the sheep populations of Scotland and Wales? Tim - 09/02/2012 09:45:34 PM 927 Views
A Google search takes seconds. Tom - 09/02/2012 11:44:02 PM 958 Views
I almost always read at least one of his works every year. Jacob - 09/02/2012 06:21:38 PM 1313 Views
